About: I've been a dog lover forever and got my first family dog when I was 12. I have since become his primary owner. Since 15, I've assisted my older brother with dog sitting through Rover, and by 17, I started caring for dogs on my own for family and friends. Whether watching them at their home or bringing them to mine, I provide reliable, loving care for your furry companions. I work part time from home as a writing tutor at CSUN, where I am also a full time student on campus Tuesday to Thursday. In my home, your pets will enjoy a safe, secure environment with a fenced back yard featuring sturdy gates and tall walls, ensuring they can roam freely and safely. The front yard is also fully enclosed with an electric gate for added security. If your dog is accustomed to crate training, I can accommodate that as long as a crate is provided. In addition, I also have a pool on the property. I ensure the pool area is safely monitored to prevent any accidents, and only dogs that are comfortable around water are allowed freely around it. I prioritize comfort, safety, and fun for every pet in my care!

“This was my first time using a professional car sitter. I was very nervous about it. When I first met Annabella, my mind was put to ease. She is very sweet and has a calm and gentle personality. I have 4 cats. One is a diabetic and needs insulin injections. Annabella did an excellent job checking on them, feeding them, and taking care of the litter box. I am so happy and relieved to know that I can call her again the next time I go out of town.”

About: I’ve been around dogs since I could walk, and I know that every pup has their own unique personality and pace. I’ve had my own dog, Paloma, for five years now, so I’m well-versed in the routine and the responsibility. Whether your dog wants a high-energy trek or just a slow sniff around the block, I’m happy to follow their lead. I’ve got a flexible schedule and a very relaxed approach—I’m just here to make sure your dog has a great, stress-free time while you’re busy. I’m currently in a bit of a transitional period with my schedule, which means I have a lot of flexibility to prioritize your dog's needs. Whether it’s mid-day check-ins, afternoon walks, or weekend sitting, I can easily work around your timing. I'm usually around and available to provide consistent care and plenty of attention throughout the week. I live in a quiet, gated community that provides a secure, low-stress environment for your pup. My home features a private yard and court for safe playtime away from traffic. Beyond that, I live in a very walkable neighborhood and love taking dogs on more scenic adventures. Whether it’s a trip to a local dog park for some socialization or a nature walk to explore local trails, I’m happy to tailor the outing to your dog’s energy level. Having had dogs my whole life and caring for Paloma for five years, I’m always focused on keeping them safe, hydrated, and happy while we explore.

About: I grew up with 3-4 dogs in my house at all times. I love being able to make sure dogs are taken care of and loved on when watching them. I always make sure to tend to the dog’s needs and provide that comfort space for them, allowing them to be comfortable quickly with me. I am very easy going and very good at communicating, so you will not have to worry about bad communication throughout the watch. I am currently doing online school and I coach softball so the summer is fairly free for me if I do not have my days blocked off. I have lots of time to tend to your dog. I am very mindful about doing things for a long amount of time because I know I have a responsibility to take care of your dog. I am able and willing to take care of your dogs however you need me to. I am very easy going and love to just relax when I can so I give dogs that space to relax in my place as well. I love to match the dog’s energy so if they want to relax or play, I am comfortable providing that!

“10 out a. 10 absolutely loved her. Great with my Puppy, super friendly, gave her tons of attention and cuddles. Super great at following directions, locked my door and gave my dog the absolute best quality of love and attention”

About: Hello! My name is Alison & I adore animals :-) Please let me know if it is okay to give your pet a little bag of custom treats & toys to remember me by, I love making animals happy ☺️ Entrusting your wonderful pets with me means allowing them to be in a safe, comfortable & fun environment while you are busy. For my whole life I have always felt very passionate when it comes to animals. I have done my fair share of research on pet care while also having pets of my own in the past. Now more than ever I am excited to care for some amazing creatures and give them my unconditional love & attention. :) I am very energetic & affectionate when engaging with animals! I will love your pet with all my heart & probably grow super attached :-) My schedule is quite open & I would love to discuss scheduling with you. I’m also very flexible when it comes to your pet’s needs. I am open to any & all specific requests in regards to your animals’ comfort or safety. I can be very attentive to details, but I ask that you please let me know anything & everything you need me to know about your pet beforehand! In all my experience in caring for animals, I have found that every pet is very unique - a part of how well I can care for your pet also depends on how communicative & transparent owners are about their specific needs. No request or detail is too small, I would love to know anything you need me to know so you feel secure while using my services. Please also establish with me your preference for frequency of texts/communication, & don’t hesitate to send me a message for any concerns. :)

I've worked with children for the past 7 years, many of whom have special needs, which has helped me develop patience, reliability, and strong attention to detail. Since I'm off for the summer, I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I'm available on weekdays from 6:00 AM to 10:00 PM, with occasional weekend & housesitting availability.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Northridge
Emily is fantastic! She completed her drop ins at the time scheduled and sent lots of pictures. You could tell my cats were super happy with having her there. Even my super scaredy-cat warmed up to her while I was away my schedule is just all over the place and she was so accommodating to last-minute changes as well which I really appreciate.

We have an older pup and were concerned about leaving him in the care of strangers. Alexis and Melisa exceeded expectations and not only followed our instructions (re: his medications, etc,) to a T but gave our dog lots of love. Would definitely work with them again.

Sanaz took wonderful care of my two cats while I was away for two weeks. She visited every day to feed and check on them, and she consistently sent photos and videos that gave me peace of mind while traveling. She was reliable, responsible, and a pleasure to work with throughout the entire experience. I came home to two happy, well-cared-for cats. I would definitely book Sanaz again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter.

Halle provided 3x a day drop in visits over four days. She was always on time and stayed with Luka for at least the the amount of time requested. Halle did everything asked of her and bonded nicely with Luka. So much so, that I'm sure Luka was hoping that it was Halle at the door instead of us. I would gladly have Halle watch Luka again.

This was my first time using Rover and she made it the best experience possible she went above and beyond and communication she was on time she sent pictures. She had cute commentary and honestly, our animals loved her. I can't wait for her to watch them again as she cared so much for my animals and I can't thank her enough for giving us the peace of mind while we were out of town

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Northridge stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Northridge. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
